What are they doing, and how can I help?
We serve a God that is resourceful, and we reflect God's image through our service. Throughout history, God has used the unlikely, the common, and the unexpected. Scripture is full of outreach examples where there was a need, and God's people got resourceful. There is the story of the crowd being fed by five loaves and two fish (Matthew 14). There is the time a group of friends figured out how to open a roof to get their friend to Jesus (Mark 2).
Christian Life Church Outreach Ministry is working beyond 7845 Donegan Drive, Manassas, Virginia, church building. The ministry is sharing the love of Christ as they serve and connect with the community. It is not what happens inside the church building but what we are doing outside its walls. When we leave the church building, what does it look like when we walk in our everyday lives? That is outreach.

The CLC Outreach Ministry always stands ready to support the community by offering food boxes for families at Thanksgiving, clothing, Christmas gifts, and much more. Over the years, we have connected with several schools in the area, such as Hayden Elementary and, most recently, George P. Mullen Elementary. We support these schools by donating school supplies, backpacks, and shoes throughout the year.
Recently, we held a community outreach event at Coverstone 1 Apartments in Manassas, Virginia, where we provided backpacks, school supplies, toiletries, and brown bag meals for the community. I am excited to announce that we have recently partnered with Prince William County "Keep Prince William Beautiful," where we will go into neighboring communities to do beautification projects.
CLC Outreach is looking forward to more opportunities to support the community and spread the good news of Jesus Christ.
